Must apologize for an error in my first comment. Mr. Minchin, I mistakenly referred to you as British. My bad. I was going by the information IMDB (Movie Data Base), They report you were born in Northampton, Northamptonshire, England, UK Going thru your videos, on “Taxicabs” you state you were born in Perth. Aussie or Brit, I still think you are Absolutely Fabulous!
